And to some extent even into the 90s, you'd hear the assholes say things like, "I'd never be caught dead at a convention" or "I don't dress up like those losers" or "I'm a fan of Star Trek but not a Trekkie".

Were, not are.

Hm. Interesting points. Assuming shaming is off the table and arguing is unproductive/exhausting, how do you convince someone to change their behavior not just once but constantly?

Granted, Ray Bradbury's behavior towards women (while not rapacious) included then-socially acceptable butt groping, which he defended as innocent physical contact until the day he died. And I don't THINK he ever cheated on Marguerite or took it further with women but he was pretty damned adamant that butt gropes were…

Frankly, I think the term nerd has become more all encompassing. There were always assholes who liked Star Trek. They just didn't call themselves nerds or geeks or dress up at conventions quite as much.

Truman dropped the bomb. The subsequent bomb tests gave birth to BOB. There's a weird echo of that with the Sheriff.

I like that the mention of the name "Gordon Cole" stirs Cooper.

KidS? KidSSS? KidSSS?

My thought was, "I wonder who has the other glove?"

Maybe it was written as a Rolex and focused on to get Showtime to pay for a Rolex that Lynch would then gift the actor with?

Renzo's gang needs Wally Brando. Of course, Wally would defeat Dark Cooper at arm wrestling.

Likely since three or four episodes ago they said the convergence would happen in two days and we've seen way too many day-night cycles since then for that.

Diane is a villain, though.

Maybe they stopped at Wendy's

I'm pretty sure the actors were not filmed in the same room for some reason and that they used a stand-in for over-the-shoulder shots.

They're going to go out with their talking owl, Professor Pericles, and unmask Bob-Coop.

"Rich people tend to keep it in the family." This isn't Game of Thrones! ;-)

Are we sure? I think he might be in a similar situation to Dougie. Real Trump died in the Moscow Ritz Carlton and was replaced by a Lodge prisoner who blathers nonsense and stumbled into success.

Turns out that, whoever you are, getting hit in the head twice with a coconut just turns you into MaryAnne, even if you didn't start that way.

I need to come up with some Shkreli bait. Papa's got big student loans!
